President Barack Obama launched 'Truth Teams" in Virginia and several other states today to help promote the president's achievements and respond to GOP attacks.

The Virginia event, according to The Richmond Times Dispatch, was held this morning at the General Assembly building, featuring several state senators.

The project will use social media and websites to feature information about the campaign.

“Designed to put responsibility for spreading the truth in the hands of the President’s supporters, the websites contain videos and information on the President’s record, and fact checks on Republican claims about the President and themselves,” the campaign said in a news release sent this morning.
